The SAFESPOT concept 1/2
SAFESPOT is working to design cooperative systems
for road safety
based on vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to
infrastructure communication.
SAFESPOT will prevent road accidents developing a:
“SAFETY MARGIN ASSISTANT”
to detect in advance potentially dangerous
situations and extend, in space and time, drivers’
awareness of the surroundings.

SAFESPOT Technologies
AD-HOC DYNAMIC COMMUNICATION NETWORK
• Generated a complete set of messages (as an extension of existing
C2C messages) that is offered as contribution to C2C and ETSI
standardization processes.
– The set of messages has been inserted in the ITS European
Architecture document produced by COMeSAFETY.
• Routing protocols with multihop forwarding and geo-cast
functionalities
Status under testing finalization

SAFESPOT Next steps
•
Expected final results are:
– Technological prototypes of cooperative systems applications
based on vehicle ad hoc network and on vehicle to
infrastructure communication.
– Cost benefit analysis & estimation of the impact on traffic safety
– Definition of sustainable business and service models for all
stakeholders
•
•
Challenges are now the integration and testing in the
SAFESPOT test sites and the interoperability with
solutions implemented by other major projects.
Extensive field operation tests will be an important step
to plan a future sustainable deployment.

SAFESPOT Impacts
•
•
•
SAFESPOT generated a complete set of messages (as an extension of
existing C2C messages) that is offered as contribution to C2C and ETSI
standardization processes.
Results about feasibility and potentiality of complex cooperative applications
and technology assessment.
A clearer roadmap of the steps for the cooperative systems exploitation.
